My question is.....is this rain suit "noisy"? I understand its waterproof, but is it made out of "tarp-like" material? Noisy like a tarp when moving?

It's not noisy at all. It is a cloth material. Best rain suit we have ever bought.

This isn't the one I purchased but if it's made out of the same material, polypropylene, then no, it's not noisy. Mine and my husbands is very quiet.

Not it's not noisy, but it's not waterproof either, it says it is but it's not

not very noisy at all.....feels like more of a paper material and may be just a tad noisy if it's loose fitting on you...i wore mine over my clothes and it was just more bulky than anything else

You wouldn't want to wear it if you were hunting and needed to be quiet, but it isn't any noisier than your average rain gear.

No, I do not think it's noisy. Wore it a couple of times going to Strugis this year and it was great!

They are Not noisy at all! They are made of more like a "cloth like" material rather than a "tarp like" material. I really enjoyed the tuffness and the fit!

If I'm not mistaken, I believe I did read that somewhere that it is but I cannot find the documentation I had with it. However, I believe it would be waterproof in a light rain. I do not believe it would be water proof in a heavy rain. It also does not have a floor in it so when the ground around it gets wet, that would eventually seep into the "dry" ground area under the "tent".

No! And I was extremely disappointed because it was NOT waterproof at all! I Called Amazon and asked for a credit back. It's in my patio for her to play and run through, but if you're looking for something rain proof for outside- not a good choice.

I don't think it would offer "waterproof" protection if you dropped it in the river.... but as for keeping the rain off and normal weather I think it does very well. Again, I have not tested this, but I assume water would make it through the zipper if you were scuba diving or walking in a torrential rain storm, but I have carried mine, tucked under my arm in all sorts of wet weather and never had an issue.

This is a pretty expensive suit to be running around on dinghies. Though it is strudy (not fragile), I could see you catching it on sharp items. You could probably buy 50 - 100 throw away rain suits for the price of this drysuit. Otherwise, the drysuit should do the job. I'd just be nervous catching it on something. Good luck.

if you are in the water it will be fine, not for on land tho. it is like a thin wet suit

It is constructed of a hard plastic - so rain would not be problem except for the non-slip padding on the top. It would probably wear more quickly in the sun/rain, etc.. Unsure about stability in strong wind.

yes it is water tight. I think it's breathable though I'm not sure. I have worn the rain suit while walking my dog through torrential downpours and have stayed dry every time!

Its not silent nor is it a crinkle bag. Definatly quiter than most rain coats.

It is a heavy vinyl material. I've used it on two trips and have been satisfied with it. The cover/lid has a flap that folds down to cover the zipper. I feel comfortable saying it is waterproof and that you would have other bigger problems if something did end up wet!

We have used ours about four times and no tears yet. For the price they have kept us dry so far. But I think any rain suit can get ripped unfortunately.

I don't think it's waterproof at all. The material is just thin nylon. It doesn't feel like it has a water resistant coating or anything.

This is a 1st, someone asking me if a Rain Jacket is water proof, I would have to say yes, I've worn it out in 1 storm, & 1 heavy rain, but I would say that it's meant to get you to cover, not to stay out in the rain for an extended time, for working out in a heavier rain or doing something extended as far as time wise goes, you would have to get something much heavier and more expensive, but it's good for hiking, hunting, camping, and some survival situations.

The material that it's made of is a soft mesh that covers the plastic case. It doesn't appear to be waterproof, but I haven't tested it to be sure. I'm sure it can handle some light rain, but a downpour wouldn't be good.

Hi, David.... It is a cloth that is treated with a "plastic" like coating that allows it to resist rain, etc. I really like mine! Hope this helps! Godspeed! Steve

Black waterproof material. Not sure what that material would be called? Not quite rubbery. Not thin mesh? Not quite vinyl? But a sturdy rubberyish under bottom? Hope that makes sense since I had to make up a work for you?

It is porous. Air is able to move through the fabric. It was beautiful new. However, my personal experience in north florida, on the georgia line, it lasted less than one summer. For whatever reason the fabric completely disintegrated!!! COMPLETELY , to nothing. No idea what happened. Full sun midday and shade late in the day. But to further answer your question. No. This is not water proof.
